Teacher Week 2013: Classroom Digs

I am linking up with Blog Hoppin’ for Teacher Week 2013, to give you a tour of my classroom.  
*Disclaimer: This is not how my classroom looks right now.  I have not been able to get in to set up my classroom because summer school was there and they are now cleaning the room.  So these pictures are from last year and the year before, but it will pretty much look the same when I set it up again. 
Click on the photos to find the products I used.  Thanks for taking a peek at my classroom!
     

The borders are all from MPM School Supplies.

The color signs are by Ashley Hughes 🙂

          The big book sign is by Rachel Lamb (click here to snag it for free).

I made these labels with my Silhouette Cameo.   You can purchase the b&w polka dot file folders from MPM School Supplies.

Click here to check out the number posters. 

I made these new supply organizers this year.  I found the baskets and ribbon at Michael’s.  I like them better because the pencils won’t poke through the mess.  I sell the table signs here!

To see my other bright polka dot items click here.  If you want to see all my decor items, click here.

I just finished these color posters:

Don’t forget to link up and/or hop around other teachers’ classrooms:

🌻Sunflower Classroom Decor Room Tour🌻 This was my 🌻Sunflower Classroom Decor Room Tour🌻

This was my room decor before the pastels.  It worked well to incorporate my old farmhouse items (my decor theme before that) and as a bonus it made my Ukrainian students smile (the sunflower is the national flower of the Ukrainian).

Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for th Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for the upcoming weeks in a file tray above drawers for the days of the week.  This helps to keep you organized for the weeks ahead.
Save and use leftover colored copies as dividers. This makes them less bulky, than if you had used binder clips.
When you near the end of the week, pull the papers from the tray and sort into the weekday drawers and centers.

Probably a little late to this Kinda Chic trend bu Probably a little late to this Kinda Chic trend but I am old 😂.
Yes, I still dress up everyday.  I only wear sneakers on dress down days or for field trips, but I am not going to judge you for what you wear.  I have seen teachers running after kids, so I get wearing sneakers to work.  I love shopping, plus dresses are just more flattering and easier for me to wear.

I have always had a very organized and clearly labeled classroom.  That is my calm.  Some FB ladies have said it is too busy but it works for me.  I have never seen a kid getting distracted by it, there is so much more to distract them…like other kids.

I started small group weight training classes @elevationfitnessli in March of 2025 and have been going regularly.  I enjoy meeting and becoming friendly with the other teachers at our 4:30 classes.  I also love that I can see physical changes as well.  Pull-ups are so hard but I am proud of my progress.

I still love teaching after 24 years.  I don’t love how it has become harder than it was when I started (bigger class sizes, more behaviors, more curriculum to cover, etc.) but I still love connecting with my students and helping them grow.  We can retire at 55 years old, as a tier 4 teacher, and I think I will be ready then to go.  I am lucky that I have been able to stay in the same grade for almost all of those 24 years!

I have been a TpT seller since 2008 and a blogger since 2011!  Thank you all who have been with me over the years and welcome new teacher friends!
